Jay is a mad man. I wish I had that kind of cash. Hopefully someday I will.

 

My God!!! does he actually ride that beast?

 

yea he rode it back a couple months ago when Conan was on his show. He was showin it off to Conan at like 3 MPH in the parking lot. C said that squirrels were walking faster than he was riding

 

LOL....I hear he drives every one of his cars though.

 

what cars does jay have?

 

~80 cars, ~80 bikes, lots of variety from what I understand, vintage steam powered cars to McLaren F1s....

you'd **** a brick. i know i am shocked whenever i see glimpses of his garage(s)

 

He actually rides that thing around this area regularly. I'll post some pics if I can find them.

 

they did a story about it and him in motorcyclist a year or 2 back. he does ride it. people post jay on the jet bike sightings on sportbike network.

 

They did a story on him and the bike a couple* months back in Motorcyclist Magazine. During the interview, he told a riding story in which a car behind him at a traffic light had gotten too close, and he looked in his mirrors, and the front bumper on the car looked a little funny, so he leaned over his shoulder to take a closer look, and the exhaust heat from his bike was actually melting the car's front bumper, he said when the light turned green, he took off. lol

 

The bike really doesn't seem that impressive to me. Its powerful yes, but its also (very) long and heavy. Definately not ideal for canyon carving. Even drag racing, I'd bet a stockish late model some thing or other with a long swing arm could smoke that turbine bike. Probably the only place it would really shine is the salt flats.

I guess its a bit old now, and compared with the bikes of its time it is probably more impressive than compared to '04 open class stuff. I read through some manufacturer info, that the millitary breifly considered buying some of these turbine powered motorcycles for special missions stuff, but never did.

Jay is a really great guy in person. He'll talk to you, take photos with you, sign stuff, whatever. If you ride around the canyons on weekend mornings a lot in socal you will bump in to him eventually.

This pretty well sums up why it sucks. Even though it has 425 foot pounds of torque.



Can I get that in something other than XXL?

 

they had one of those in that torque movie and i was like no way! that **** cant be real and i searched around for it and found that exact same ad^^^^and almost **** a brick.
